Here is another view of the Premium Fresh Avocado Whopper. Very nice food photography. Interested to see not only what it tastes like, but what it looks like in real life. バーガーキング アボカド

Burger King is offering 3 avocado enhanced burgers: the Fresh Avocado Burger, the Fresh Avocado Whopper Jr. and the Fresh Avocado Whopper Premium. This photo makes them all look pretty good, but the real burger might look somewhat different after the avocado shrinks down. A recent McDonald's avocado burger looked completely different from the advertisement.
The Fresh Avocado Whopper premium claims 50 percent more avocado (compared to what I'm not sure), but it does look like almost a whole sliced avocado. That might make it worth the 550 yen price. バーガーキング アボカド

CirclekSunkus, a large convenience store chain, is giving away 143 of the new RICOH THETA 360 degree cameras. You can enter once a day through the end of the month via the Facebook page and it doesn't look like purchase is necessary. サークルＫサンクス

Kirin Free, the world's first 0.00% alcohol free beer, was the product of the year two years ago and has been a great source of profit ever since. The reason for this is alcohol taxes are very high and this item is sold right next to real beer - meaning that even an inflated price looks like a bargain.
In this social media post, they suggest making an ice cream and fruit float using Kirin Free. If nothing else, it certainly is pretty. キリンフリー

The Glico Osaka Dotonbori Neon sign has become one of the iconic photo taking spots in Japan. It is now time to renew the sign and Glico is counting down with new photos every day on their social media feeds. The sign goes dark on August 17th and the new sign (6th generation) will be introduced next Fall. This photo shows some of pretty young ladies who are shrine maidens from the nearby Imamiyaebisu Shrine. グリコ 今宮戎神社 道頓堀

In another Suntory product which finds a new middle ground between branded and private brand products, the newest edition to the Boss canned coffee line is only available at FamilyMart and is part of the FamilyMart Collection (private brand). Therefore, it is the Suntory Boss brand, but also part of the FamilyMart private brand collection.
This line under the Boss brand is called The Espresso and uses a blend of the highest quality Brazilian coffee beans. It comes in regular, low sugar and black varieties. サントリー

Kirin is perhaps the biggest corporate sponsor for the national soccer teams. In this current promotion, a signed uniform and personalized message DVD from Shinji Kagawa are being given away to one lucky elementary school student. Another 5 will receive signed soccer balls. Entry is by hand written letter, where the student must write about his dream and how he or she is working toward achieving that dream. キリン 香川真司

Japan has created a new public holiday called Mountain Day. It does not go into full force until 2016, but can still be celebrated this year on August 11th. Kirin would like you to do it with a Guinness. 山の日 キリン

Morinaga suggests making watermelon smoothies with their aloe yogurt. They call this "healthy beauty" based on the watermelon containing "beauty ingredients" such as lycopene, beta carotene, vitamin C and citrulline. Not really a claim that would pass even the loosest standards, but probably more healthy than not. 森永
